The Ultimate Bier Fest Experience!

Join Sechrist Travel in Germany for an adventure in German BEER Culture! September 22 - 29, 2024

Get your lederhosen or dirndl and join in the celebration at Germany’s two biggest and longest running annual parties. 

This tour is not about organized sightseeing -though there will be some - It is all about food, friends, carnivals, oompah music, and yes, beer… 

First stop - Munich and Oktoberfest - The most famous and celebrated party in the world. 

After Munich, we will get away from the big city and enjoy a relaxing day in Germany’s favorite medieval city - Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

Our last stop on the tour is Stuttgart. Stuttgart is home of Mercedes, Porsche, and the second biggest festival in Germany - the Cannstatter Volksfest. Less tourists, more locals, and lots of German beer and food. Prost!

Overnight flight from your "HOME" airport to Munich Airport (MUC)

Morning arrival into Munich Airport (MUC). After customs formalities the group will be welcomed by tour director and board our waiting motor-coach. After arrival in Munich we will walk to Marienplatz, the iconic old town square, and enjoy some free time before we transfer to our hotel and check in. After getting settled in to the hotel enjoy a provided group welcome dinner where we will discuss Oktoberfest Survival, and etiquette.  After dinner a visit to the Oktoberfest grounds is a great option for those not ready to sleep.

Group Dinner Provided 

Today is dedicated to Oktoberfest.  After breakfast we transfer to the Teresienwiese Oktoberfest grounds for the day. We will have space reserved in one of the large beer tents. Spend the day eating, riding rides, singing German beer fest songs, and drinking beer!  

Oktoberfest day 2 - After breakfast we transfer to the Teresienwiese Oktoberfest grounds for a another day of Oktoberfest. We will have a lunch reservation in one of the smaller venues today. After the group lunch, enjoy the evening with friends, or making new ones, on your own at the “Wies’n.”

Today we’re off to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany’s famous walled medieval city. Rothenburg is full of charm - half-timbered houses, fortified towers, a restored medieval city wall, and lots of great restaurants. Enjoy the town for the day - a must while in town is drinking a beer at Zur HölI - literally meaning “to hell” - a bar in a fabulous building built in 900 AD. In the evening we will meet to take the celebrated “Night Watchman Tour”. Perhaps after the tour we will go to hell for another beer.  

After breakfast we transfer to Stuttgart, the city of Mercedes and Porsche. Upon arrival in Stuttgart, we will enjoy a visit to the Mercedes Museum, featuring dozens of historic cars. In the early afternoon we will make our way to the Cannstatter Volksfest for the opening day festivities beginning at 3:00pm. After the opening formalities, the beer tents open and the festivities begin. Spend the rest of the day at the Volksfest celebrating German culture, food and beer.  

On the final day of the tour we will enjoy one last day of festivities at the Cannstatter Volksfest.  Soak in one last day of “Gemütlichkeit” and revelry. We will have a group reservation in a large beer tent tonight.

Group Dinner Provided

Today we say “Auf wiedersehen”.  After breakfast those flying out catch flights home from Stuttgart Airport (STR).
